Answer:

The correct answer is Sympathetic and Parasympathetic nervous system.

Explanation:

The autonomous nervous system is conformed by the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system.

The body’s stress response is mediated by the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) system. The sympathetic nervous system prepares the body for stressful situations that require an alert state or strength. It is responsible for the neural fight-or-flight response to stress.

In a stressful situation the hypothalamus, which is in charge of the stress response, sends signals to the pituitary gland and the adrenal medulla. The adrenal medulla secretes the neurotransmitters and hormones adrenaline and noradrenalin to the bloodstream. These hormones get the body ready for a response to stress, by increasing heart biting frequency and strength, increasing blood pressure, stimulating respiration, and dilating respiratory tracts.

The parasympathetic nervous system is activated during rest and digestion, and this occurs when the threat factor is over, and the body gets back into a balanced state.

In general, parasympathetic nervous system´s actions are contrary to the sympathetic nervous system. It reduces arterial pressure, respiratory and cardiac frequency, and maintain energy through relaxation and rest.

Reflex action refers to the response to a stimulus, while reflex arch refers to the path taken by the reflex action.

<h3>What is the nervous system? </h3>

1. Low oxygen levels are detected by sensory receptors in the arteries.

2. An impulse is produced by sensory neurons.

3. Certain parts of the brain get an impulse from the central nervous system.

4. Motor neurons carry messages from the brain.

5. Isabel's respiration becomes more rapid.

Reflex actions are immediate, reflexive reactions to stimuli that limit bodily harm.

Therefore, it travels to the brain via the central nervous system and sends impulses via Isabel's motor neurons, which aid to speed up her breathing.

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Prezygotic barriers:

1. Habitat isolation

2. Behavioral isolation

Explanation:

Pre-zygotic barriers are the barriers which do not allow the formation of the zygote in the organisms.

The two mechanisms of the pre-zygotic barriers are the:

1. Habitat isolation: the Flycatchers do not share the same habitat which is also mentioned in the question that they live on different islands.

2. The behavioural isolation: the Flycatchers could have evolved the different mating rituals as a result of which the could not interbreed.

Thus, Habitat isolation and Behavioral isolation are correct.
